Where have all the days gone??

It is hard to believe that summer is coming to a close. It seems like only yesterday school ended and summer adventures began. Yet, time is gone and life long memories have been made. May was a big graduation month for us with Rachel and Jonathan both graduating from LETU. And I will add with honors as well. Then home to CA and plans were set into play.

A sailing trip of grand perportion was planned. Larry, David, Jonathan,Daniel, and Roger set sail to see how far south they could go. With adventure and excitement mixed with days of boredom and windless seas the days passed. It would be 40 days before Larry came home and almost 60 before the rest of the crew would set foot on American soil.

Mom and the girls and young boys had another type of adventure. We hosted two young ladies from France and had a great time showing off our great views and culture to them. I also had several great opportunities to get to know my future son-in-law Daniel over the summer. That is right Rebecca is getting married next May "08". We attended concerts, parades, movies, dinners, beach trips, shopping, church, aquariums, ostrich farm tours, boardwalk, Dairy Queen (soft serve cones, not available in France), plays at the local college... and spent lots of time laughing and having fun.
Then we finished off with a trip for the whole family to Mexico to pick up the boys and spend some time in the sun. After a good amount of sunburn and fish we returned home to leave Julie at her new home for the school year in Azusa. We also left Daniel and Rebecca there to start their trip to LETU and Texas. Then finished and drove home and have settled in for the first day of school and back to work.
Well I will be posting more in the future. I seem to have remember the password and codes to be able to start back up this time consuming activity.
